Late in the third quarter of the Sunday night game against the Los Angeles Rams, cornerback Jason Verrett lined up across from Rams receiver Josh Reynolds anticipating a play the Rams could run from the bunch formation they lined up in. They repped it out in practice, and because they knew from prior film study that the Rams like a certain play out of this formation inside the 5-yard line, Verrett knew exactly what was coming.
He guessed correctly and turned the tide of the game, and even though the 49ers led 21-9 at that point, he kept the Rams out of the end zone and from making it a one-score game.
